Ok i go to run MOHAA and at the point where it supposed to load the first intro video, a window pops up saying:

i tried repairing it, i tried uninstalling and then installing again. Why wont it work?! it worked before i wiped my HDD i dont understand why it wouldnt now. I have all updated drivers for everything on my comp and that whole jazz...

just skip the intro. i use this cmdline.

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\mohaa.exe" +set thereisnomonkey 1 +set developer 1 +set cheats 1 +logfile 2
works for me.

if it doesnt work defrag the hdd since you've been reinstalling/repairing a lot.

thats only the cmd line for activating cheat codes though. plus i dont think the intro has anything to do with it b/c i tried removing the .RoQ and MP3 files but still it dosnt work

Actually no it does skip the intro. my shortcut has that and it skips it.

nvm, i'm using Wombats MOHAA with Record so it skips it anyway. so that swhy it never did it. huh.

no, add this to your cmd line.

+logfile 2

the cmdline accepts any argument as a console command, just put a + in front of it.

You could have at least told him that this makes the console output being written to the qconsole.log file in his MoHAA directory. ;)

The message is because the game crashes. My guess would be a video card problem. Update your drivers and check DirectX.

Umm, what does it say when you actually send the error report? I did that once when I had problems with the graphics and it helped... at least it might give ya a clue what's wrong...

It's an automated process that finds where the error ocurred, what program it was, and such info and mails to to MicroSoft.
